In a vast and opulent mansion that stood in stark contrast to the cozy home of the sisters in Willowbrook, the grand dinner table was set with exquisite china and polished silverware. The atmosphere was as quiet as it was lavish, and the only sound that broke the silence was the gentle clinking of utensils against plates.
Seated around the table were Joong, Pond, Maya (Joong's mother), Susan (Pond's mother), and Mike (Mr. Johnson), the patriarch of the house. The mansion's grandeur was a reflection of Mike's immense wealth and power in the corporate world, but it was also a testament to his isolation from the world beyond.
As the family engaged in their dinner, the two young men, Joong and Pond, provided a rare glimpse of youthful enthusiasm in the otherwise stately setting. With youthful exuberance, they eagerly discussed their studies.
Mike, their father, who was often consumed by the ruthless world of business, seized this opportunity to bond with his sons. "Joong, Pond," he said in a warm and rare display of affection, "tell me, how are your studies going?"
Joong, with a bright smile on his face, responded, "Dad, we're doing really well in school. Our grades are excellent, and we're both passionate about the fields we're studying."
Pond chimed in, "Yes, and we're determined to make you proud, Dad. We want to follow in your footsteps and make the family name even more prestigious."
Maya, Joong's mother, couldn't help but beam with pride, her eyes filled with maternal affection. "I'm so proud of both of you. Your hard work and dedication are truly commendable."
Susan, Pond's mother, shared in the sentiment, "It's wonderful to see you both so driven. Your father has built a remarkable legacy, and I know you'll carry it forward."
Mike, often a stoic and enigmatic figure, displayed an unusual warmth as he looked at his sons. He nodded with approval, a glimmer of paternal pride in his eyes. "I have no doubt you'll achieve great things, Joong and Pond. Your dedication and ambition are truly inspiring. Keep up the good work, and the future of the family will be secure."
In that moment, the grandeur of the mansion seemed to dim in comparison to the familial bonds and aspirations that had been kindled around the dinner table. It was a rare glimpse into a side of Mike that few had ever witnessed, a reminder that beneath the ruthless businessman lay a father who cherished his sons' dreams and ambitions.
As the evening continued, the Johnson family shared stories, dreams, and the hope of a brighter future. The mansion, while extravagant, couldn't overshadow the budding warmth and unity that had taken root in the hearts of Joong, Pond, and their parents. In the grandeur of the mansion, the family's love and support would prove to be the strongest bond of all, even as Mark Johnson's dark intentions loomed in the background, threatening to cast a shadow over their aspirations. . . . . ( don't joong and pond sounding too innocent hmm~) . . . . . . .
